Business Support

Broken Hill City Council’s role in economic development is to provide leadership, direction, and advocacy by partnering with other agencies to facilitate, encourage and maximise sustainable development opportunities within the City of Broken Hill and the surrounding region. As a NSW small business friendly Council, Council facilitates business partnerships, participates in local, regional and State networks and undertakes co-operative research and planning in the identification of opportunities for business and industry.

In order to encourage diverse and innovative business initiatives in the City and surrounding region, Council may offer support through the Business Support Policy.

The policy aims to provide appropriate information, advocacy, and support to:

  • An existing business, located within the City, to expand or promote its operations;
  • An existing business, located outside the City, to relocate or establish within the City; or
  • A new business to establish within the City.
